DEPT OF CORRECTION ADULT SCHOOLS

Dept of Correction Adult Schools is a public high school that is part of the Indiana Department of Correction school district, located in Indianapolis, IN offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade.

The Department of Correction (DOC) Adult Schools in Indianapolis represent a specialized educational branch operating under the Indiana Department of Correction. Rather than a traditional campus, this institution functions as a network of academic programs integrated directly into the state’s correctional facilities. Its primary mission is to provide incarcerated individuals with the essential tools for rehabilitation, focusing heavily on literacy, high school equivalency (HSE) attainment, and foundational academic skills necessary for successful reintegration into society.

The curriculum is designed to address the specific educational gaps often present within the incarcerated population, emphasizing both general education and vocational readiness. By offering structured classroom environments and individualized instruction, the program aims to reduce recidivism rates by increasing the employability of its students upon release. Ultimately, these schools serve as a critical component of the state’s criminal justice system, viewing education as a catalyst for personal growth and a means to help former inmates secure stable, productive futures once they return to their communities.
